What started out as two curious showdates in the midwest is now a legitimate tour. Charlie Sheen has now scheduled 20 shows as part of his My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Death is Not an Option Tour that will take him across the continent, from New York to San Francisco. And as Sheen proudly announced on Twitter, his shows are selling out. But what exactly is the show? Will it simply be a live version of Sheen’s pained and panned webcast? Who knows? Sheen’s promotional pitch is nothing but enigmatic: “Will there be surprises? Will there be guests? Will there be mayhem? Will you ask questions? Will you laugh? Will you scream? Will you know the truth? WILL THERE BE MORE?!?! This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock. Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me.”
Before you wonder who’s willing to plunk down as much as $100 to see Sheen “win” in person, recall that more than 82,000 souls recently applied to be his social media intern. So there’s an audience to be had, pun intended. In fact, for $750, fans can upgrade to the Meet & Greet package, guaranteeing a face-to-face encounter with the star. Plus, a dollar from that ticket will go towards the Red Cross relief efforts in Japan.
Do you already have your Violent Torpedo tickets? What would have to happen on stage for you to feel like you got your money’s worth?

I can’t put into words just how much I will laugh at the imbeciles buying all these tickets when he overdoses before the first show. I would pay double the face value just to walk out on the stage, point at the audience, and cackle.
It sounds like to me, that this guy is Winning, and doesn’t need WB for anything anymore.
I hate to say it…but you’re right.
Already got my tickets. 5th row baby! #WINNING
Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public. #Losers
He is kicking everyone’s butt at this point. If this isn’t winning then I guess I don’t know what winning is anymore.
Yes, Tom. You never have, nor will you ever know what winning is.
oyi vey paul
I think he had this allll planned out, Do you honestly think that if someone was that drug crazed the TV stations would keep offering more more money to get him back or to get him on their station?
Crap, no CA date. I bet you Charlie flames out and cancels after two shows.
Charlie is Winning…and God bless him for that…..Down with the fat cats…it is time someone took em down….you Rock Charlie
what a waste of money-just give the whole $100 to the Red Cross
You’re just jealous because he is successful and you are a total loser!
@Brian…and we would pay double to be able to boo a fool like you off the stage.
agreed
If you are a fan of crappy TV shows then Sheen is something you will never understand. At least you have your reruns of two men to watch. Sit down, be quiet, and don’t bother the rest of us at the adult table anymore. Thanks.
Here we go, someone with the capacity for independent analytical thought!
Wow, a whole dollar out of a $750 ticket? From the guy who was making about two million a week.
My thoughts exactly.
Oh and two men is worth 200 million in syndication? Riiiiiight.
$1 from each ticket, regardless of price. Better than nothing. Raises awareness for the fund regardless.
Not much.
Why not donate all the proceeds? He doesn’t need the money.
I really don’t understand why anyone wants to go see this. What is he going to do? He’s not a comedian, his jokes are pretty lame and the truly funny stuff is unintentionally funny. Are people really that desperate to see a train wreck in person?
And a whole dollar or the these grossly, overpriced ticket is going to Japan? Wow Charlie. You just keep giving.
He is giving the industry the finger. It is something most of us who have actually work for, have wanted to do once we discovered how corrupt and horrible it is to work for those people sometimes actually can be.
Exactly! One of the very best days of my life was when (after 18 LONG years) was telling my psycho boss to go F herself. Carlos just did it in a much grander style.
Are you kidding me? You need new heroes. He was coddled and indulged for a long time before he imploded. Charlie was a functioning addict and pampered son of Hollywood royalty who had a cushy job making millions by basically playing himself. He has nothing in common with the average person slaving away at a crappy job with an @sshole boss. And now people are paying $100 to see what? More whining? Psychotic, incoherent ranting and raving? I’d rather donate to Japan myself and watch Two and One half Men re-runs.
Who cares whats in the show.. His fans are pumped.. The Warlock is pumped.. Grand entertainment that only gets better with the Trolls locked outside..
Charlie? Is that you??
Really? “Who cares whats in the show.” i guess you like to throw your money away on the unknown. I sometimes find it hard to part w/$50 (or even less) to see a band in person when i won’t even see them very well (peanut heaven, etc.) when i could just listen to their CDs at home but people are willing to shell out $100 to see a trainwreck do what? Shoot up? Snort – oh sorry “BANG” – a rock of crack??? The people shelling out $100 (or more) for a ticket to this “show” should donate that money right to Japan now.
amen Kate, what a waste of $$, give it to Japan instead.
Can’t someone pick him up and drop him in Japan? He would get a reality check and we would all smile. Reality would sober him up where every other avenue has failed.
that would be the worst thing to happen to japan since hiroshima
Charlie has something that people like Haim can’t fake to be rich.
Ken Tucker highlighted this – a couple weeks ago Craig Ferguson compared the Charlie Sheen situation to the old English hospital Bedlam, where people paid money to laugh at the crazed and clearly disturbed patients. I feel like the people who will go to this are basically expecting the same thing.
That hospital sounds familiar somehow. Was it where the Elephant Man was kept? Sincere question (asking instead of googling this time!).
answered my own question – London Hospital, not Bedlam but people did pay money to see him
Please stay out of Canada. We do not need a Troll like Charlie in our country. Please seek help and that goes for the people buying tickets! This is just sick!
How is he a troll? You may not like what he has to say, anymore than some shock jocks (which will remain nameless) have to say either.. That doesn’t mean he is trolling. I think he is being totally sincere. This is the real deal.
It is actually “Bethlehem (and Royal Maudsley)hospital which was mispronounced Bedlam…
He’s been good for a laugh or two, but come on … if you’re going to pay hard-earned money to see 75 minutes of his blathering on stage, you, sir, are an idiot.
Will be going to the show, will pay extra to meet him personally and will apply for his internship. I want to win like Charlie. He has it all
“He has it all” – hmm, he has lost custody of his kids, has a restraining order against him, and was fired from his job. Even more to the point, he has deluded himself into thinking that he is superior to everyone on the planet because he’s had success ACTING in a sitcom that someone else has written. Yeah – he’s a real winner….
Lost his wife. Lost his kids. Lost his job. Lost his mind. Oh yeah – Charlie has it all.
Hey guys we will see..maybe he will surprise us..don’t be so judgemental..maybe it will be bad maybe it will be brilliant..i will wait..
With all of the crazy Charlie Sheen truth out there, isn’t it time for some Charlie Sheen fiction? It’s “A Day in the Life of Charlie Sheen” on The Loop Now.

More proof that people are such sheep. I’m keeping my money…this D-bag will OD before the tour happens.
Wow – so unkind. Your comment is contradictory to your name – hopeandlove. I see people still believe everything they are fed by the media…please people – don’t believe everything you read. Charlie could know something none of us do. Wait and see.
I would rather spend money on someone who can actually make me laugh and not make me puke in disgust.
And $1 for Japan relief? Really? For a guy who is literally bathing and showering and living in money, he’s only giving away a buck? That’s like a slap in the face to the victims.
Yes I realize I’m repetitive. I guess that is me being disgusted.
It will end up being a couple thousand…. How much did you give??

Very nice and its a[[rp[riate for Charlie Sheen, WINNING!
People are actually spending their hard earned money to see this Maniac.
All proceeds good up his nose and to the hottest hooker attainable.
How about sending some money to homeless animals who need it more.
Did you see the latest Wonder Woman yet? Uh, and the example you guys are setting to the world is what? As long as you don’t embarrass yourselves, it’s ok.
or i dunno maybe homeless peeeeoopplle!!!
People can spend THEIR money the way they want – just the way you spend YOUR money the way you want – perhaps we all should tell you what you “should” spend your money on? Mind your own business.
I love charlie , can’t wait to see the show. You haters shut up !!
